A friend has asked if I might know who an actress in a Laurel and Hardy silent film is. He’s exhausted his limited internet skills, and has asked if I might be able to identify her. She’s uncredited, which makes this a tall order, but, hey, it’s The Internet. Someone may know. I’ve put out questions on Twitter and FaceBook.

The film is a silent one - “That’s My Wife”, and the actress in question appears in this scene.

Three images of her in the context of the scene, and closeups. That’s about as good as it gets, I’m afraid.

Thanks. I think so too - a couple of L&H fans on Twitter suggested the same. This screen grab I was sent confirms it for me.

The thing is, in that Wiki article, she’s credited as Mrs Hardy, but she can’t be. She’s not recognised by either of them when they encounter her at the club, and, importantly, Mrs Hardy seems to have a very different face. Here she is at the start of the film, complaining to Ollie that Stan has been living with them for far too long.

I think that’s Dorothy Christy https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0160685/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_i5
